Yes, as you age, your lungs undergo several changes. The lung tissue can lose elasticity, making it less efficient at expanding and contracting. Additionally, the strength of respiratory muscles may decline, and the airways can become more rigid, which can affect overall lung function. These changes can lead to a decrease in lung capacity and efficiency in gas exchange.
